--------------------------
On August 8 [1204], Stephen de Turnham, who had married Edeline, the eldest daughter and coheir, obtained King John's writ to the Sheriff of Southants, ordering the said Sheriff to give seizin to "our faithful Stephen de Thornham and Odeline his wife, of the Manor of Frellebi, which was Dametta's (mother of the said Odeline), who is dead, whose heir she (Odeline) is." A similar precept to the Sheriff of Salop orders seizin to be given to the same Stephen and Edelina, of the Manors of Chedinton, Euden, and Berewic....
About Dec. 1205, [Stephen de Turnham] offered to King John three palfreys to have the royal confirmation of 16 librates of land in Ertendun (Surrey), with the Hundred &c., which he had and held by gift of King Henry II, at a fee-farm rent of £15, and by gift of King Richard, at half a knight's fee: also, to have the King's confirmation, to him and to Edeline his wife, daughter of Ranulf de Broc, of the reasonable concession and confirmation which King Henry II made to the same Ranulf de Broc, his Usher and Marshall, of all the land and ministry of his father, &c....
Edeline, after her husband's death, appears still in litigation with her sister Sibil [over Chetton]. The Advowson of Chetton she included in her grant to Lilleshull Abbey, and though the act of nugatory, it well illustrates the hints we have of protracted litigation between sisters. 1 2
